Historically, the herb and nursery trades have known two types of Chamomile. The German or Hungarian type - Matricaria chamomile or Chamomile recutita, and Chamomile Roman Anthemis or English type. The German and Roman Chamomiles are very distinguishable, and the effects of one can in no way be associated with the other

Chamomile Matricaria essential oil has a characteristic, strong, sweet, green-herb scent with almost apple like back notes. The pure, undiluted oil has an intense odor which some find overwhelming and unpleasant. The true oil is a deep, inky-blue color and is somewhat viscous. This Chamomile contains normal levels of azulene. It is steam distilled from the dried flower heads of M. recutita. Matricaria recutita has bright yellow flowers and white petals
